Product details
Overview
The MAX6795TPWD3+ from Maxim Integrated is a single-output, high-voltage linear regulator with integrated supervisory functions (RESET, watchdog, power-fail detection, and hold control), designed for automotive systems requiring robust operation under load-dump conditions. It delivers up to 300mA at fixed 5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V or adjustable 1.8V–11V output, features 68μA quiescent current, 5V–72V input range, and operates from –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6795TPWD3+ datasheet, MAX6795TPWD3+ pinout, MAX6795TPWD3+ application, or MAX6795TPWD3+ equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functionality, automotive-grade thermal and protection specs, and validated alternative options for AEC-Q100-compliant power management design.
Technical Context
The MAX6795TPWD3+ implements a single LDO regulator with internal pFET pass element, supporting dropout as low as 1200mV at 300mA (5V output, VIN = 6V). Its supervisory block integrates a fixed-threshold (92.5% of VOUT) active-low RESET output with capacitor-adjustable timeout (D3 = 50ms nominal), a watchdog timer with fixed 280ms timeout (CSWT tied to OUT), and a HOLD input enabling self-holding latch behavior without external components.
It includes reverse-battery protection via GATEP-driven p-channel MOSFET, thermal shutdown at +165°C with 20°C hysteresis, short-circuit current limiting (~480mA), and output overvoltage protection clamping at 1.1×VOUT. The device uses an internal 1.231V reference for PFI comparator and SET feedback, ensuring stable regulation across its full temperature and input voltage range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 72V - withstands automotive load-dump transients without external protection. |
| Quiescent Current | 68μA typical - enables always-on ECU modules with ultra-low standby power. |
| Output Current | 300mA max - sufficient for powering microcontrollers, CAN transceivers, and sensors in body control units. |
| Dropout Voltage | 1200mV typ at 300mA (5V out, VIN = 6V) - ensures regulation during cold-crank battery dips. |
| Reset Timeout | 50ms nominal (D3 option) - meets ISO 16750-2 power interruption recovery timing requirements. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - fully specified for under-hood automotive environments. |
| Watchdog Timeout | 280ms min (fixed, CSWT = OUT) - provides reliable microcontroller supervision without external timing components. |
Pinout & Package
MAX6795TPWD3+ is housed in a 20-pin, 5mm × 5mm thermally enhanced TQFN-EP package with exposed pad (EP) connected internally to GND. The package supports up to 2.7W continuous power dissipation and is AEC-Q100 qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2 | OUT | Regulator output (5V/3.3V/2.5V/1.8V preset or adjustable 1.8V–11V); requires ≥10μF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 3 | SET | Feedback input; tie to GND for preset output, or connect resistive divider for adjustable output. |
| 4 | PFO | Active-low open-drain power-fail output; asserts when PFI falls below 1.231V threshold. |
| 5 | CSWT | Watchdog timeout adjust input; tied to OUT for fixed 280ms timeout (as configured in MAX6795TPWD3+). |
| 6 | CSRT | Reset timeout adjust input; tied to OUT for fixed 50ms timeout (D3 option per ordering code). |
| 7 | GND | Analog/digital ground reference; connect EP pad directly to PCB ground plane for thermal performance. |
| 8 | RESET | Active-low reset output (push-pull); asserts when OUT drops below 92.5% of nominal voltage. |
| 11 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge must occur within 280ms to prevent reset assertion. |
| 12 | HOLD | Active-low hold input; forces regulator ON even after ENABLE goes low - enables self-holding circuit. |
| 16 | PFI | Power-fail comparator input; use external resistor divider to set custom brownout threshold (e.g., battery monitoring). |
| 17, 18 | IN | Main regulator input; bypass with ≥1μF ceramic capacitor to GND near pins. |
| 19 | GATEP | pFET gate drive output; drives external p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection (no diode drop). |
| 20 | ENABLE | Active-high enable input; internally pulled down (0.5μA sink); logic high required to activate regulator. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 68μA enables >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics, alarm systems). |
| Integrated reverse-battery protection | GATEP output drives external pFET - eliminates series diode, preserving efficiency and reducing heat. |
| Self-holding latch via HOLD input | Eliminates need for external latching circuitry in ignition-controlled power rails (e.g., BCM wake-up paths). |
| Adjustable power-fail detection | PFI input with 1.231V reference allows precise battery voltage monitoring (e.g., <11.5V warning before cranking). |
| AEC-Q100 qualified operation | Rated for –40°C to +125°C with thermal shutdown (+165°C) and hysteresis - suitable for engine compartment deployment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-voltage supervisory LDO applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6795TPSD2/V+ | Same 300mA single-output LDO, but with 3.3V fixed output and 12.5ms reset timeout (D2); AEC-Q100 qualified (/V+ suffix). | Targeted at 3.3V-only systems needing shorter reset hold time (e.g., fast-boot infotainment). | Select when fixed 3.3V output and AEC-Q100 compliance are mandatory, and 12.5ms reset suffices. |
| TLV70733PDQNR | 300mA LDO with 2.5V–5.5V input, 25μA IQ, no integrated watchdog/RESET/PFI - requires external supervision. | Limited to low-input-voltage subsystems (e.g., post-DCDC 3.3V rail); not suitable for direct battery connection. | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where external reset ICs are acceptable and input stays <5.5V. |
Compared with MAX6795TPWD3+, MAX6795TPSD2/V+ offers identical architecture and AEC-Q100 qualification but targets 3.3V systems with faster reset release, while TLV70733PDQNR lacks supervision and high-voltage capability - making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement in automotive battery-fed designs.

FAQ
What output voltage does the MAX6795TPWD3+ deliver?
The MAX6795TPWD3+ delivers a fixed 5V output. Its ordering code "WD3" indicates W = 5V preset output, D3 = 50ms reset timeout period. The device does not support adjustable output in this configuration - SET must be tied to GND, and no external feedback divider is required for nominal operation.
Is the MAX6795TPWD3+ AEC-Q100 qualified?
No, the MAX6795TPWD3+ is not AEC-Q100 qualified. The /V+ suffix (e.g., MAX6795TPLD2/V+) denotes AEC-Q100 qualification. MAX6795TPWD3+ is rated for –40°C to +125°C and built on automotive-grade process, but lacks formal AEC-Q100 test documentation. For safety-critical applications, select MAX6795TPSD2/V+ or MAX6795TPLD2/V+ instead.
How is the 50ms reset timeout implemented in the MAX6795TPWD3+?
The MAX6795TPWD3+ achieves its 50ms reset timeout by connecting the CSRT pin internally or externally to the OUT pin - matching the D3 option defined in the datasheet. This configures the internal ramp generator to produce a 50ms (nominal) delay after VOUT rises above the 92.5% reset threshold before deasserting the RESET signal.
Can the MAX6795TPWD3+ drive a p-channel MOSFET for reverse-battery protection?
Yes, the MAX6795TPWD3+ includes a dedicated GATEP output pin that sources up to 12V (at VIN = 20V) to drive the gate of an external p-channel MOSFET. This enables efficient reverse-battery protection without series diode losses - critical for maintaining >95% efficiency in 12V automotive systems.
What is the function of the HOLD pin on the MAX6795TPWD3+?
The HOLD pin on the MAX6795TPWD3+ is an active-low input that enables self-holding behavior: once ENABLE goes high and the regulator starts, pulling HOLD low keeps the output ON even if ENABLE subsequently returns low. Releasing HOLD (to high or open) shuts down the regulator - allowing ignition-key-triggered latching without external components.
